Terrifying Medical Nightmares As Told By the People Who Experienced Them

He Went from the Hospital Directly to Jail

I had a husband and wife brought in at the same time, both with major flame burns. He was about half his body surface area, and she was 75% or more.

The woman was intubated at the original emergency room they went to. She was waking up a bit when she got to our unit and kept trying to mouth something around her breathing tube.

In hindsight, I’m pretty sure it was “my baby,” as she miscarried about 36 hours after she was admitted. She developed an arrhythmia while we were starting a new IV and we couldn’t control it. 

Then we found out what really happened. We found out the husband lit her on fire when he discovered he wasn’t the baby’s father. He survived and after medical treatment moved to a penitentiary. Story credit: Reddit / Nervich
